In 1978, Kevin Costner married Cindy Silva, before he made his on-screen debut in the 1981 film “Malibu Hot Summer.” The couple had their first child together, daughter Anne, in 1984. Two years later, Costner and Silva had their second daughter Lily and expanded their family with a son Joe in 1988. During this marriage, Costner first met Christine Baumgartner, who is 19 years younger than the actor. The meet-cute occurred on a golf course while Baumgartner was a model at the time and Costner was preparing for his role in the golf film “Tin Cup.” By 1994, Costner and Silva split up. He then linked up with Bridget Rooney and though never married, the couple welcomed their son Liam together in 1996.
Two years later, Costner reconnected with Baumgartner and went on a date together, starting a new romance that lasted until 2002 when the pair split up. “Fear kept me from marrying Christine. [She] wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father,” Costner confessed to Closer Weekly. After dating for four years, “I woke up and thought, Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child? That’s all it took,” Costner said about his decision to reconcile and marry Baumgartner. After Cayden in 2007, Costner and Baumgartner had two more children, a son Hayes and a daughter Grace.
